Golden Goat

Hybrid – 70% Sativa, 30% Indica THC: 16% to 23%, CBD: 1%

Golden Goat is a popular sativa-dominant hybrid that was actually created by accident. In Topeka, a male Hawaiian Romulan inadvertently pollinated a female Island Sweet Skunk plant, resulting in Golden Goat as we know it today. This strain is characterized by its vivid green leaves and pink pistils. The buds appear to be small, golden, dense, and covered in resinous crystals. Golden Goat has an aroma of spicy yet sweet tropical fruits, with a citrusy flavor. This strain may be an effective treatment for a variety of conditions, including anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, and chronic pain. When you are looking for an energizing, creative, and uplifting high, Golden Goat is an excellent option.

Bio Diesel

Hybrid – 50% Sativa, 50% Indica THC: 20% to 24%, CBD: 1%

Split evenly between sativa and indica, this balanced hybrid is a combination between Sour Diesel, Sensi Star, Original Diesel, and NYC Diesel. The resulting strain won first place at the 2009 Colorado Medical Marijuana Harvest Cup, and it isn’t hard to understand why; with 1% CBD and around 20% THC, it is an ideal medical strain. You can recognize Bio Diesel by its dark green, fluffy nugs with purple undertones, covered in amber hairs and a layer of crystals. The flavor of Bio Diesel is spicy, sweet, and earthy. Due to the balance of this hybrid, neither sativa or indica effects dominate; it provides a calm yet stimulating high that begins euphoric and energizing, then slowly fades into a more relaxing experience. Bio Diesel provides the ideal treatment for a variety of conditions, including stress, chronic pain, and depression.

Blue Dream is a popular strain that is slightly more sativa dominant. A combination of the Blueberry and Haze strains, Blue Dream provides a variety of effects from both its indica and sativa sides. With the aroma and flavor of a blueberry pie, this is well-known to be a delicious strain that leaves a delightful taste in your mouth. You can identify Blue Dream by its bright green, fluffy nugs, amber and blue hairs, and blue undertones. The immediate impact is a euphoric head high that provides you with creative energy and motivation. As these effects fade, a relaxing body high kicks in, leaving you feeling relaxed and numb.

Gorilla Glue #4

Hybrid – 70% Sativa, 30% Indica THC: 25% to 28%, CBN: 1%

This potent sativa-dominant strain is native to Colorado and is a mix of Chocolate Diesel, Sour Dub, and Chem Sister. Light green in color with a snowy appearance when ready for harvest, these plants smell strongly of diesel and are, in fact, one of the strongest smelling strains, which is why it is usually grown indoors. It tastes similar to coffee with undernotes of chocolate. This high-THC strain is great for those with chronic pain, and may also be helpful in the treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The effect of this strain is euphoric, energizing, and uplifting, providing a cerebral high that slowly drifts into a body high.

Lucky Charms

Hybrid – 50% Sativa, 50% Indica THC: 22%

This hybrid strain is the result of a cross between Appalachia and The White. Characterized by dark green buds covered in orange hairs, it offers a fresh, pleasant pine-scented aroma. While it is named after the cereal, you are more likely to taste a fruity flavor than a marshmellow one, with flavors of berries and citrus. The high that is produced by Lucky Charms is calm and happy, lulling you into a state of deep relaxation. In addition to helping with a variety of conditions such as headaches, loss of appetite, PTSD, and stress, it can also provide powerful pain-relief properties.

Cherry Lime Haze

Hybrid – 80% Sativa, 20% Indica THC: 16%, CBD: 1%

As a sativa-dominant strain, Cherry Lime Haze is great for providing an energizing high that won’t keep you couch-locked. The flavor of this strain is cherry with a very subtle lime aftertaste, while its appearance is green, orange, and brown in tone. With a more cerebral high, this strain is best for morning or other active experiences; do not smoke this before bed if you struggle with insomnia, as, while it is a mellow high, it is also energizing like many sativas. You are more likely to feel very focused and motivated than sleepy when you take this strain.

Red Headed Stranger

Hybrid – 75% Indica, 25% Sativa THC: 19% to 26%

This strain pays homage to Willie Nelson, marijuana enthusiast and country singer extraordinaire. A combination of William’s Wonder and Haze, this strain provides both a head and body high, and is often used to train seizure disorders, chronic pain, and migraines due to its strong dose of CBD. When you smoke Red Headed Stranger, you can anticipate a mellow, clear high that is great for socializing with your friends, working on a creative project, or watching a funny movie. With a citrusy, spicy flavor and an aroma that is earthy and lemony, this is a pleasant strain to smoke.

Afghani

Indica THC: 16% to 20%, CBD: 1%

This enormously popular strain provides a classic indica high that is sought the world over. Afghani, also known as Afghan Kush, is earthy and floral in aroma, while being spicy, piney, and sweet in flavor. This strain is best consumed at night, because as an almost-pure indica (95 percent), it easily induces sleep, which is why it is often used to treat insomnia. If you are looking for a euphoric, deeply relaxed high, Afghani should certainly be your go-to. Because of its classic indica properties, it is often used in creating new strains.

Deathstar

Hybrid – 75% Indica, 25% Sativa THC: 18% to 27%

A cross between Sensi Star and Sour Diesel, this indica-dominant strain marries the best of both qualities of its parents. You can recognize this strain by its stickiness, broad leaves, and visible purple shades. When smelling this delicious strain, you will detect a sweet lemon aroma, with an undertone of rubber. The flavor is skunky, diesel, and sweet, making it more pungent than some palates prefer, but the positive effects are undeniable. A euphoric and relaxing high, this potent strain is ideal for relaxing evening activities, and is good for managing symptoms around insomnia and nausea.

Remedy

Hybrid – 75% Indica, 25% Sativa THC: 1%, CBD: 18%

This high-CBD, indica-dominant strain is a cross between Cannatonic and Afghani Skunk. Its mild pine aroma and floral and lemon flavors make it an enjoyable strain to smoke. You can identify Remedy by its dark green buds and purple undertones, as well as its airy leaves. Remedy was specifically bred to be high in CBD, making it a great option for medical purposes. Because of its high CBD level, users don’t experience the same psychoactive effects as high-THC strains. Instead, you can anticipate a slow, mellow relaxation as your pain melts away. Remedy is a leading choice for treating a variety of conditions, such as inflammation, pain, anxiety, stress, seizures, muscle spasms, and tremors.
